I have a Venture 21 with the original trailer (14" wheels, made in California). Does anyone know the weight of the trailer? The boat is listed at 1175 lbs. I want to know if it would be safe to tow behind a 98 Taurus with a 3.0 liter engine. Thanks

I don't know the weight of the trailer alone, but I can tell you the boat is very easy to tow. I've towed my V21 back and forth to the lake (about 90 miles each way) with a four cylinder Toyota Camry for the past ten years with no problems whatsoever. Even with the AC cranked all the way and overdrive engaged, it pulls very easy. Give yourself a little extra room to stop and you'll be fine in the Taurus. I think the entire rig weighs about 1500 lbs. Stop by a scale at a truck stop sometime and get it checked. Lee lfox01@earthlink.net
